A recent example is an Atlas Copco GA15 compressor \u2013 a robust industrial machine with a capacity of up to 15 m\u00b3\/min and a working pressure of 10 bar. When a component in the water separator valve broke, a serious operational problem arose. Without that part, the system lost its tightness and the compressed air could not be cleaned properly. The original part was out of production and the entire separator could no longer be ordered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From idea to finished spare part with 3D printing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our solution was to design and manufacture a new part from scratch. With the help of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/en\/3d-printing-in-plastic\/complete-guide-hp-mjf-3d-printer\/\">HP MJF Technology <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/en\/3d-printing-in-plastic\/complete-guide-pa12-printing-in-plastic\/\">PA12 material<\/a> we were able to create a component that could withstand high pressure, water contact and harsh environments. The internal geometry \u2013 with small channels for airflow and drainage \u2013 was precisely recreated using 3D printing. Traditional manufacturing would have been both expensive and time-consuming, but with additive manufacturing we were able to deliver a fully functional replacement part in a short time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The design process involved careful measurement, flow analysis, and wall thickness optimization to ensure strength and precision. The result was a component that performs as well as the original \u2013 but manufactured faster and more cost-effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"717\" height=\"633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/3D-modell-i-tvarsnitt.webp\" alt=\"3D model in cross-section, showing the channels and the complex geometry of the 3D print part\" class=\"wp-image-1977\" style=\"width:345px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/3D-modell-i-tvarsnitt.webp 717w, https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/3D-modell-i-tvarsnitt-300x265.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/3D-modell-i-tvarsnitt-14x12.webp 14w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 717px) 100vw, 717px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tested in operation \u2013 tight, durable and functional<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new part was installed in the compressor and has been tested under full load. It is completely leak-proof, can withstand working pressure and functions as intended in contact with water and compressed air.<br>This project clearly demonstrates that 3D printing is not just about prototyping, but can be used to replace hard-to-reach, function-critical industrial components. With additive manufacturing, we can also iterate, improve, and adapt the design as needed \u2013 with minimal material waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Vattenseparatorn-pa-kompressorn-768x1024.webp\" alt=\"The water separator on the compressor, where the damaged part was replaced with a 3D printed part\" class=\"wp-image-1974\" style=\"width:357px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Vattenseparatorn-pa-kompressorn-768x1024.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Vattenseparatorn-pa-kompressorn-225x300.webp 225w, https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Vattenseparatorn-pa-kompressorn-1152x1536.webp 1152w, https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Vattenseparatorn-pa-kompressorn-1536x2048.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Vattenseparatorn-pa-kompressorn-9x12.webp 9w, https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Vattenseparatorn-pa-kompressorn-scaled.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fast and reliable industrial solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With our professional 3D printing services, we can respond quickly to machine breakdowns.
